[Samba] Error with smbfs

[Umberto Zappi]

Hello,
with kernel 2.6.11.11 and above (I've tried 2.6.11.12 also), I get error
in write on smbfs with Novell NetWare server.
New kernel work correctly when I get services from other server (Win2k
server or pro)
I've tested the Alan-Cox's patch 7 also, but without succesfull.

My previos kernel (2.4.24) work correctly.
Smbclient work correctly with new kernels.

Report error from /var/log/messages for kernel 2.6.11.11 and 2.6.11.12:

Read fs mounted with smbfs, there aren't problem
If I write over fs, I get file truncate to 4095 bytes end I get I/O error.
I've tested use dd for copy a file, specifing bs very little, but I get
a file of bs-1 Bytes and I/O error.

I use a smbmount version 3.0.7-Debian.
I've tried with smbmount version 3.0.14a, but don't work

Thank you in advance
